I have 2 cats .one lives in the stables and barns 1(older14/15 years) lives mostly in the house PLUS this stray/stable cat that turned up a year ago.
The stray turned up 1 year ago terrified and in bad condition.Over months I have managed to get him neutered /chipped and teeth sorted out (terrible condition broken and missing teeth)
He is now tame and has been living in the stable/ barns . He is now very settled likes a cuddle and happily follows you about .Lately he has come up to the house and has been coming through the cat flap into the conservatory where he sleeps over night on one of the chairs.
He gets on with the others cats and I am not worried out him coming in the conservatory HOWEVER he has accidents (wees) occasionally overnight .Its a slate floor so easy to deal with and I put a towel down and he will go that but he doesn't seem to have any idea about a litter tray .
Any ideas on how to train him he is around 6 years old and vet seems to think has always been a 'gentleman of the road'.as he was un- neutered at 6 when he turned up in terrible condition.
He has decided here is his home .I have been taking him down to the barn before I go to bed when I let the dogs out but he always is back in the morning I always feed him in the barn.He can obviously use a cat flap (its there for the house cat) but doesn't use it to go to the loo in the night or use a litter tray I put down he use a towel that I put down .
How can I get him to use the tray?
